They had that part of the menu covered with an Advertisement...dont have that stuff anymore T

We went, we ate, we were full afterwards. Nice clean restaurant, good service. We ordered some of everything starting with great app of Sambousus..fried pockets filled with lentils or spinach and cheese, and Yetimatim Fitfit....bread salad with tomatoes, oniuons, and peppers. Moved on to lamb, beef, chicken, and shrimp, all pretty much the same preparation...stewed. The shrimp was a little fishy but the chicken was great. We added on the vegetarian sampler...great collards, and then there was the Kitfo. "Sauteed steak tartar" well it was warm, yet cool, cooked yet raw and sitting in a bowl of clarified butter. So like I said we left full if slightly confused tracey hell its better than Applebees

We hit Keo Ku seriously hungry last night and they made us very very happy. Our table of 4 "european americans" was treated to a BBQ feast of shrimp, chicken, thin sliced rib-eye and Spicy pork. The banchan (panchan) assortment included broccoli, bean sprouts, gelatinous vegetable stuff in chili sauce, steamed egg with scallion, black beans, seaweed salad, potato salad, and 3 refills of nice tangy kimchee. Our server cooked everything for us on the center grill, which they change out after each meat. I kept waiting for the spicy pork but we were served in the order listed above...it became obviouse why after we got to the pork...soooooo good and sooooo spicy, we wouldnt hve been able to taste anything else if they had served it earlier The after dinner fruit platter of oranges and grapes was arranged very nicely. I like it ...I will be back tracey eric.....pictures

I threw cation to the wind yesterday with some country style ribs and some big fat beef ribs. I fired up the weber and whacked some (slivers-planks) off the load of cherry wood a friend dropped in my driveway last week. I soaked the wood a little while the meat got its rubbing and then loaded it all in. The smoked seemed a little funky to me and I wondered if we were having spaghetti for dinner As I added more wood that had soaked longer it smelled better and better. After 3 hours I went to make the brown suger rub but it was hard as a rock so I mixed it with some vinager and nuked it all to melt and dipped the pork in the slurry. The beef got a finish with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and the pork a few more dips. Took everything off at 3.5 hours or so. The beef needed another hour but there are so many left over they will get it in the oven tomorrow.... Cherry wood good tracey

My daughter was in NC last week and was just today telling me how cool Aldis was....they stayed in a hostel and did all their own cooking for a week of Alternate Spring Break. Tracey

Personally I am doing a boneless leg of lamb on the grill, lasagna, and either a regular ham or may shoot the day and smoke a fresh ham myself. I did the fresh ham last fall and it was great.....smoking some ribs right now : ) tracey

How about a caponata...sweet and sour eggplant relish...roasted or sauteed eggplant zuchini peppers onions garlic celary raisins vinager...etc its yummy tracey

Hmm "dive" and "dirt cheap" my kind of place T

Cheese and crackers with fruit or veggie sticks.... some kids love stuff like pepperoni and salami...remember this was invented way before refridgeration...ummm I used to walk home for lunch in school...and no one worried about cooties then anyway T

This is how Spaghetti and meatballs .."american" style came to be. The health dept in NY told the immigrants their children needed to eat more meat.... I dont know what happened in generations gone by in my family, but we have no "great great grandma made this", this way recipes left. Just had a lot of foods drowned in tomato sauce...including rice. Although I am the only person I know that eats Acini Pepe...like pastina... for breakfast with milk and butter. tracey

Lou? Lou? Where are you? I hope you aren't pulling a Bourdaine out in Vegas We made a last min run to An American Grill last night only to find Luigi is in Vegas, hopefully winning some money. Not that he needs it the place was packed last night, but we only had to wait a few for a table to be cleared. The menu seems a little more Italian so we gave a nod to my kin and started with the "meat and cheese platter" the "escarole and bean soup" and as a diversion "Thai coconut shrimp". All very tasty especially the cheese that I dont know what it was and of course the shrimp - rippin' hot on their chilled pineaple slices with all that Malibu sauce around them. We moved on to the "sausage and apple stuffed tenderloin" which has the texture of the sausage down so well and cuts like buttuh, and the "monkfish franchese" with an agressive white wine sauce..... luscious. No dessert for us, after 3 apps, 2 entrees, some wine, cocktails, and tip $105 See ya soon tracey

I remeber as a kid when apparantly boneless chicken breast came with the skin on....my grandmother used to put stuffing under the skin and pack them tight in a pan to roast....sooooo good maybe you can stuff your little roasts. tracey

I have always been told seawater concentration ...or so can actually tast salt in the water. tracey

I like the wings idea they are still hot (ha ha)...and if you are deep frying the wings ya can add the hand cut fries... and Twinkies or Oreos too tracey

OK Thats It JUST EAT LESS CAKE...dammit tracey

Hmmm bell pepper vodka

What I really dont understand is how he managed to have such a crappy time in Iceland. I went twice without the help of a network or a fixer or much money...or a clue basically and freekin loved it! Ok maybe not the shark, the balls were OK it was actually the pickled herring that got me. The hot dogs are damn good...made of lamb, essentially anything made of lamb is great there as is the hot chocolate. Also had great creamy fish dishes and lobster soup to die for. Of course our Jeep tour guide didnt land us in a blizzard or get lost...and yes it was winter.... tracey

Oh heck if he gets duck get yourself a small rack of lamb....you may even be able to work a sauce for both of them ....a cabernet reduction or something...cherries in his fresh mint in yours T

Not to mention, the 6 week old POS back-up is the likely culprit in the recent fire that gutted Amazing Hot Dog in NJ. pencil ....paper T
